Determining Stability Constants Using the AKUFVE Technique

Stability Constants of the Weak

Abstract. The main aim of the paper is to study some quantitative aspects of the stability of the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive maps in l1 (shortly, w-fpp). We focus on two complementary approaches to this topic. First, given a predual X of l1 such that the σ(l1, X)-fpp holds, we precisely establish how far, with respect to the Banach-Mazur distance, we can move from X without losi...

Voltage Stability Constrained OPF Using A Bilevel Programming Technique

This paper presents a voltage stability constrained optimal power flow that is expressed via a bilevel programming framework. The inner objective function is dedicated for maximizing voltage stability margin while the outer objective function is focused on minimization of total production cost of thermal units. The original two stage problem is converted to a single level optimization problem v...

Developing a non-intrusive measuring technique for determining orthokinetic agglomeration rate constants

A non-intrusive technique has been developed for measuring agglomeration rate constants (β0) in a constant shear field. A particulate suspension with a mean particle diameter, d, of about 10 μm is introduced in an optically accessible cylindrical Couette flow device. The suspension is illuminated by means of a pulsed laser and observed with a CCD camera. The recorded images are analysed off-lin...

A simple technique for determining nuclear quadrupole coupling constants with RAPT solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

An enhanced Rotor Assisted Population Transfer (RAPT) experiment is presented and used as a simple and fast technique to measure the magnitude of the nuclear quadrupolar coupling constant of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. The enhanced RAPT sequence consists of a train of Gaussian pulses with alternating off-resonant frequencies of +/-nuoff. Simulated and experimental results demonstrating the...
